    i know it's inside, but if your building a big one outside, here is how we brace the tops with 2x4's. This is an overhead shot of part of one of our 8 houses last year.

      1x3 also snap alot easier. also and if you brace well enough and actually use screws to do so . you seriously minimize the chance of structural failure by using the larger piece of lumber. 1 x 3 work dont get me wrong . they just arent as sturdy as a 2x4. use what you like and what your budget allows.

        I use 2x3x8, a little less money but still strong.

          I almost always use "rough" 2x4s.

          They're usually cheaper than 1xs.

            Hey Gadget evilusions, did you secure those panels to the floor too? If so, did you just use screws?
